New — Xeris Hardware
Own thewhole stack.
The Xeris Node is a Xeris-branded computer you own outright. It boots XerisOS, holds a full blockchain node, and runs Ari on-device — CPU-only AI inference, no cloud, no GPU. One machine. No landlord, no telemetry, no keys but yours.

The Hardware
Small enough to forget. Yours to own.
A near-silent, anodized small-form-factor box — under 200 mm on a side — with the whole Xeris stack sealed inside.
What's Inside
Three sovereign layers. One box.
Most computers rent you access to someone else's stack. The Xeris Node hands you all three layers outright — the operating system, the network, and the intelligence.
Layer 01 — The OS
XerisOS
A sovereign operating system built from scratch by our systems team as a custom microkernel — lean, auditable, and free of the third-party baggage a general-purpose OS drags along. It boots directly from firmware and does exactly what it's told, nothing more. This is the foundation every Xeris Node runs on.
Layer 02 — The Network
Full Blockchain Node
Every box runs a full node on the Xeris L1 — proof-of-history ordering, Scrypt proof-of-work, and stake-weighted leader election. Stake XRS to validate and earn.
Layer 03 — The Intelligence
Ari, On-Device
Our LLM ships pre-loaded and serves inference locally over HTTP/RPC. No API calls, no telemetry — your prompts never leave the box.
Keys Held Locally
Node and wallet keys are generated and stored on the device. Nothing custodial, nothing phoning home. You hold the machine, you hold the keys.
Plug In & Go
Ships with XerisOS and Ari flashed at the factory and burn-in tested. Power it on, connect it, and it syncs the chain and serves Ari out of the box.
The Trick
No GPU. All CPU.
Ari doesn't need a $2,000 graphics card. The Xeris Inference Engine runs the whole model on the CPU with a custom, INT4-optimized matrix runtime — feeding it with mandatory dual-channel DDR5 for the bandwidth inference actually depends on.
That's how a near-silent 65 W box does real work: cheaper to build, cheaper to run, and small enough to sit on a shelf and forget.

Specifications are targets for Revision 1.0 and may change before shipment. Every unit is burn-in tested for 24 hours before it leaves the factory.
Why Own One
Sovereignty, boxed.
AI without the cloud
Ari runs on-device. Ask it anything with the network cable pulled — nothing leaves the box.
Strengthen the chain
Each node makes Xeris more decentralized and harder to stop. Stake XRS to validate and earn.
You own the hardware
Not a subscription, not a lease. The machine — and every key on it — is yours the day it ships.
No GPU tax, low draw
CPU-only inference in a 65 W box. Cheap to run, quiet on the shelf, honest about what it costs.
From Preorder to Online
Four steps to a node.
Preorder
Reserve a unit from the first run. Reservations open Q4 2026 — pricing starts at $1,500.
Provision
We flash XerisOS and Ari, generate your keys on-device, and burn in the machine for 24 hours.
Plug In
Power on and connect. The node syncs the chain and brings Ari online — no setup required.
Run & Earn
Serve Ari locally, and stake XRS to validate and collect block rewards to keys only you hold.
Staking rewards depend on your stake, total network stake, and node uptime. Nothing here is a guarantee of yield or a promise of profit.
